PROBLEMS ACCESSING MAIN MENU OPTIONS
If you turn on "Use SSL for Store Administration" when configuring the Basic Store Administration but your web site DOES NOT have a SSL certificate installed for your domain name, this will cause all Main Menu options to become inaccessible.

If this happens, the Main Menu will attempt to call all of its options with the secure communication prefix "https://" instead of just "http". The additional "s" in the prefix indicates a SSL communication channel. Since SSL is not working on your site, you will receive "Page Not Found" errors whenever you click on any of the Main Menu links.

To fix this problem, you need to TURN OFF the "Use SSL for Store Administration" option in the Basic Store Administration. To do this, you need to click on the "Basic Store Administration" link which will bring up the "page not found" message.

While this error page is displayed, go up to the top of the browser window and carefully remove the "s" from the "https://www.yourdomainnamehere/Qstore/Qbasicstore.cgi" command shown. Once this "s" has been removed, it should look like "http://www.yourdomainnamehere.com/Qstore/Qbasicstore.cgi".

Next press the ENTER key to continue. Then the browser will bring up the "Basic Store Edit" page without trying to use SSL. Go down to where it says "Use SSL for Store Administration" and change that option to "No" to TURN OFF SSL during store administration. Then press the UPDATE button at the bottom of the page to continue. Once this has been done, the rest of the options on the Main Menu will no longer run under SSL and should be accessible.

NOTE: in the web address examples above, please substitute your web site's domain name where it says "www.yourdomainnamehere.com".
